The Valkyries remain one of the hottest teams in the league and are becoming a legit threat to the rest of the field due to their nasty defense. However, you guys know the deal with the Mystics. We fade the Mystics as favorites and back them as underdogs. It’s been the case for years. The Mystics are 14-5 ATS in their last 19 games as an underdog. These teams just played, and the Mystics covered in a close game. Usually, the next game on a quick turnaround is even more competitive. Teams are more familiar with each other. Give me the points.
